MS Dhoni Reflects on Strong Bond with Virat Kohli, Emphasizes Trust and Confidentiality
a recent interview, MS Dhoni spoke candidly about his strong bond with Virat Kohli, emphasizing the trust that underpins their relationship. Both players have been pivotal figures in the IPL since its inception, and Dhoni revealed that he had sent Kohli a supportive text during a challenging period in Kohli’s career in 2022. Kohli had previously mentioned that Dhoni was the only cricketer to reach out after he stepped down from Test captaincy.
While Dhoni chose not to disclose the specifics of the message, he highlighted the importance of maintaining confidentiality among players. “I will talk about the relationship, not the message. I like to keep it that way,” Dhoni stated, explaining that this approach encourages other cricketers to seek advice without fear of their discussions being shared.
Reflecting on Kohli’s relentless pursuit of excellence, Dhoni praised his determination and work ethic. “He was someone who was never happy with 40 or 60; he wanted to score a hundred and remain not out,” he noted. As both players gear up for IPL 2025, their friendship continues to flourish, with an exciting matchup between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on March 28 anticipated by fans.
